My comment

In response to my classmate's blog

I agree with this article. The top 10% rule is the most inefficient way to admit students into state Universities. This process eliminates the selection of students based upon their character and possibility of academic achievement. Also, with a rising population, the top number of top 10% students increase as well. The matter of fact is that not all top 10% students are of the same academic quality. Many students aspire to enter famous state Universities, but end up being turned down.

Also, increasing higher education schools wouldn't help the economy or provide better education. Like my classmate said, they would not be properly funded and wouldn't have the same quality as an established University.

The Solution?

The economy is still one of our primary concerns today and it doesn't look like it will improve at a faster rate than it is declining. So how will this issue be solved? There's an extremely high amount of unemployed people out there waiting for available jobs, but as soon as they create new jobs, they're taken up. Or if they're hiring employees for open spots, many people will be turned down. But the economy doesn't only affect people who are unemployed/laid off, it's affecting many others too.

-College students are finding it much harder to start education beyond high school. Tuition rates for Universities are rising rapidly. Many students start college in debt by using financial aid and loans, but they're in more debt when they graduate. Plus, with the shortages of available jobs, many college graduates come out unemployed and in debt.

-Small businesses struggle as well. It's a hard start because you have to save your money just to pay the lease and purchase your own equipment. Once you finally open, it's your only chance to attract and impress customers. If you can't do that, then financing will be rough and the store will probably close out immediately after it's leasing contract.

These are only 2 brief examples, but everyone in the nation is slowly suffering from this situation. Money is what we all need to support ourselves and our families, but how will we get it? Jobs are scarce and businesses are struggling. Who do we turn to? The government gets their money from us, and spends most of it on other things than the people. We can't just print out money and hand it to everyone within the state. We're all relying on experts and our government to pull us out, but they're stuck too. There has to be an efficient plan that helps us rise out of this economic chaos and prevent future crashes. What good is a solution if it only works today and not tomorrow?
